Edeagophore of C. Jionii, dorsal view, text-figure 5. 



The edeagophore of C. horni and C. calif ornica is much broader 

 than in the majority of the species at present placed in the genus 

 Cymatodcra, at least this is true of all those I have had the oppor- 

 tunity to examine, but the breadth (proportionately) is nearly equal 

 in C. sirpata Horn, being but slightly less broad. In many of our 

 species these organs are very slender, the apicale but slightly and 

 very gradually broader basally, the clava being in some instances 

 greatly exserted. In C. balfcata LeConte the distal portion of the 

 apicale curves upward very strongly ; this is the only species in 

 which I have noticed this form of the apicale. 



TWO NEW FORMS OF CICINDELA WITH REMARKS 

 ON OTHER FORMS. 



By W. Knaus, 

 McPherson, Kan. 



The McPherson Scientific Expedition consisting of H. H. Nin- 

 inger, Head of the Department of Biology of McPherson College: 

 Forest Hoover, his assistant, and the writer spent eight weeks during 

 July and August, 1921, in Southern Wyoming, Southwest Utah, 

 Southwest Nevada and Southern California. 



Among the new species of Coleoptera collected were : one new 

 variety and one new form of Cicindcla : — 



Cicindela denverensis Csy., propinqua, new variety. 



Similar in form and color to denverensis but smaller and with a shorter 

 body. Color light green, with slight golden sheen on elytra except suture 

 and elytral margin. Head and thorax similar to denverensis. The frontal 

 declivity of head, the under sides of the thorax, and the legs covered with 

 dense, erect, white vestiture. Sides of the abdominal segments sparsely 

 clothed with decumbent white vestiture. Elytra without markings except 

 a triangular dash of white at the apices. Length 9 mm, width 3.5 mm. 



Ash Meadow, Nye County, Nevada. Altitude 2,050 feet, one 

 specimen, a male, August 16, 1921. On mud at margin of stream. 

 No other specimen seen in five days collecting. In the same vicinity 

 were taken Cicindcla nevadica, C. tcnnisignata, C. var. h(rmorrliagica,
